tiles

these are my completed tiles:

• the tile on the bottom right was created using a stamp, a stamp leaves an impression in the clay, this type of marking if very useful if you have a flat surface but it would be harder to do on a rounded vase.
• the tile on the top right was made using Sgraffito this involves putting a slip on the tile and then scratching through the slip to draw out a image. this is easier to do than paining the design on however you have to make sure the slip is dry. 
• the tile on the bottom left was made using stensiles, this involves putting layers of wet news paper that have been cut into a design on-top of your tile and then adding slip over the top, when the slip dries you remove the news paper revealing the design. 
• the top right tile was made by scratching out the design first and then filling the indent with slip, you then scrap off the excess slip, this one broke.
